I Figured It Out | Jemi

Twenty Four

Joe entered the living room not long later sitting down on the floor with Elliot since there wasn't an seats left for him. Elliot squealed seeing his father Joe leaning down kissing his cheek gently which only made him squeal again. Demi was twelve weeks along now but they weren't telling most people until their hospital appointment in a couple of days. Demi was looking forward to telling Kean, she knew he'd be really happy.

"He is so cute!" Willa cooed pulling faces at Elliot, he started cooing as his dad lifted him up onto his crossed legs facing Willa. Elliot smiled leaning back against his father watching Willa to see what she would do next. "How old is he?"

"Five months now." Emily answered wiping his mouth gently everyone laughing as Elliot's arm came up pushing hers away.

"Grumpy baby already," Joe shook his head but Elliot started whining. "Hey, hey what's wrong?" Joe lifted him up keeping him up by holding his hips kissing his cheek.

"He might be tired, lay him down for an hour or two then we'll wake him up so he'll sleep tonight." Emily stated Joe standing up taking Elliot upstairs with him, he soon felt someone following him seeing it was Demi.

"Are you okay?" Joe inquired as he entered Elliot's nursery laying his son down in his crib stroking his cheek gently to help sooth him down to sleep which is what he wanted. Demi stood by his side admiring the young boy as his eyes slowly drooped closed but soon opened again.

"Yeah what about you?" Demi inquired.

"I'm good for now, you wait until it's near dinner. I'll start stressing out." Demi giggled laying a hand on his arm.

"I'm sure whatever you cook will be yummy." She assured him Joe taking his hand back once Elliot had fallen asleep. He begun to tidy up a little bit, putting toys away and putting away some laundry he had done but he was making sure to stay quiet not wanting to wake Elliot up.

"Um Demi I've been thinking about something." Joe admitted.

"What?" Demi asked back keeping her eyes on him.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime?" Joe questioned stopping what he was doing looking over at her.

"Me?" Demi questioned.

"No just the baby," Joe joked rolling his eyes. "Yes you, I've started to grow feelings. I'll admit that." Joe stated watching as she wondered over to him.

"Yes I will." Demi answered leaning up kissing his cheek gently the two of them smiling at one another as she pulled away.

Soon enough dinner was served everyone gathering around the table, there was just enough room for everyone to fit. Joe had made a separate meal for Kean and Carter which made enough for the grownups, they still had desert to come. They had spent the last hour getting to one another, they all thought they might have found some more friends.

"Sausage mommy!" Kean exclaimed as Demi set the plate back in front of him after chopping the sausage up for him into small pieces.

"Joe are you alright?" Willa questioned as she noticed him distant. Joe didn't respond.

"Not this again," Emily mumbled stand up making Joe stand up but that didn't help, something changed within Joe. He screamed throwing his plate across the room before Emily could drag him into the kitchen leaving everyone stunned. "Joe calm down."

"My name is not Joe, I told you before! It's Matt!" He snapped pushing her down to the floor Emily staring up at the man in front of her.
